I think what I will describe here is more that what CLI provides today. An engine/lib has a version, id and a uri. On most cases, you only care about the id and uri and assume that the tools that you work with already knows how to resolve the id and version to a location. In the case of CLI an engine with id: cordova and version:3.1.0 should be resolved to ~/.cordova/lib/ios/cordova/3.1.0 . If we have a uri defined that actually means we want to overwrite the default location for the engine. I think this redirection should be per engine not per project and should be located as part of CLI's configuration -- Gorkem
